We stopped by Fargos new location for lunch on the patio. It is definitely more modern than their previous building across the street. The interior of the restaurant is trendy, and the outdoor patio is spacious. The servers were all friendly and quick. I ordered the Bourbon Chicken Club. It was flavourful and packed with quality ingredients. Prices for both drinks and food were reasonable. This is a great place for a casual meetup with friends. read more

Price point we were pretty happy with the service and the food. The ambiance is okay if you like sports bars...not my favourite. Also super dated on the inside. If you want to pretend it is the late 80's this is for you. However, it was very nice out and the patio was lovely. Menu is pretty standard pub food. We each chose a burger. Me with lamb, my hubby with bacon and kiddo with fries. Service was excellent. We told them that we were in a bit of rush because of a ball game and we recieved prompt help. Our glasses were full. Our server although busy was great at attending to us. Our child has special needs and she was extra kind and helpful to her. Food was good. Flavours were there. Fries were crispy. We were pleased with our meal. Except my soup. That was not great at all and I love soup. Liquidy and greasy. That is why it lost a star. It is good if you need a quick bite without the fast food scene. Just don't order the souop. read more

It is a restaurant with a bar and a patio section. The food has improved considerably. Salads are good. Quesadilla is good. Burgers are good. They have beer on tap at reasonable prices. The patio has umbrellas. Our server was very pleasant. The interior has dated decor so more of a locals feel. Free parking. read more

This is my second time at the new Fargo's. The first time was OK except it took three attempts for them to get the steak sandwich right, at that point my friends have already eaten I was kind of past the point of being hungry. tonight thought I would give it another try my friend and I ordered two of the appetizers during happy hour and a beer. Apparently the beer was supposed to be rotating tops for happy hour and yet the server really didn't seem to know what I was talking about. The appetizers came out , we had ordered salt and pepper wings and dry ribs. I ate part of one of the wings as there was nothing but fat inside and it was quite gross. The dry ribs tasted the same as the salt and pepper wings but with the weird kind of Taste to them. Needless to say we left most of the stuff. I'd mentionrd to the fellow that they weren't very good. Nothing was ever taken off for a bill no management ever came to apologize so I figured after to bad experiences. Fargos is definitely off my list read more

This is definitely a neighborhood bar restaurant for their local clientele. The entrance is a bit rough but don't judge a book by just it's cover. Inside the bar/lounge is separated from the dining room by frosted glass with the Fargo's logo. The decor is clearly dated and makes me feel like I'm in a Boston Pizza 15 years ago. The tables weren't wiped clean which is a bit concerning during covid. We came to try the $12.99 fish and chips. Asked the hostess what type of fish and she said halibut! The menu clearly says Cod though so we were let down a bit but I didn't really believe her anyways. The dish itself came with a lot of fries, sides of tartar and ketchup, and two big pieces of fish. We got two orders and it fed four adults no problem. Decent special but I'd rather pay a bit extra for haddock or halibut. read more

Still a fan. This place is my go to when I need wifi and food. I've been with my family, my friends, although more often I go here on my own. There is a ton of space in here so they can have a bar/lounge and a restaurant area. I've been in both but I prefer the lounge and the service is usually better in there. The menu is quite varied too. They offer many different cuisines and I've tried a lot in there. The burgers and great but today I had the pork dumplings as I just needed a wee bite. Well they are packed with pork. Not just a little bit inside, it was more like a meat ball in there. It was great. They pour a great caesar and it even comes in three sizes. Apparently they do a bus to Rogers Place for the games which is awesome. I noticed today that they have 241 steak night on Tuesdays so I may give that a go! read more

GREAT POUTINE. If that's not enough to get you in the door, let me share a few other reasons why I think a humble stripmall joint in a quiet older neighbourhood is worth your consideration. 1) not a bad beer selection, when it's available that is... Wild Rose brews and Original 16 Copper on draft - me likey!! 2) better food than expected - we're talking better than BPs or Ricki's or other places that have a family section and a lounge - and some original home-made items which took me by surprise. The poutine was especially good, lovely peppery gravy and actual cheese curds. My boyfriend had two servings! 3) lots of space, comfortable, and overall decent service 4) 2 for 1 steak night - wow, I might just brave the karaoke for that! Not brilliant, but much better than expected. Exceeded my expectations, hence the 4 star rating. If you're in the neighbourhood, and it's really slim pickings in the Capilano/Gold Bar area, Fargo's is one of your better bets. Go for it! read more

Stopped in on a cloudy evening to try out this gem in my old neighbourhood.  I was really impressed by the care that is put into the Patio.  It is filled with bright, beautiful flowers and provides a real relaxed atmosphere!  The southwest facing design is great to catch some evening rays and the glass wall surrounding it keeps the wind out. Another great feature: the have their own Patio specials!  We stayed for a couple beers and tried out the Creamy crabby wontons which were decent.  Staff friendly and helpful.   Good choice for an evening drink on the east side! Ambiance: 7/10 Staff and Service: 8/10 Food and drink: 7/10 read more

2.5/5 Meh. It's an okay place to go once I guess, but I definitely didn't get top notch food for the price I paid. I came in for lunch with a group of people from a class, and we all ordered different items. I had the Korean pork belly sandwich and the soup of the day. However, instead of the soup of the day I got fries instead...I didn't know fries equated with soup, and the server said there was no soup. Okay, you could've told me earlier and I would've switched to salad, because I'm not a fries person at all. As for the food, again it's meh. If anything the sauce made up for the lack of pork belly feel, felt more like sliced beef instead for some reason. The portions were decent though, so I'll give them that. I never asked the others in the end what they felt, although one of them was complaining about their food as well. Not sure what they ordered though. Was nice for a one-time visit, but I'm likely not gonna return next time I'm in Edmonton. read more

If you're an out-of-towner-or even a south-ender-headed to an Oilers game, I suggest you head to Fargos for your pre-game drinks and din din then hop their free shuttle on over to Rexall Place. Yes, free shuttle. I popped in with my stepdad to meet my stepbrother for a drink before we headed to the Oilers vs. Wild game last Thursday (they won! I must be good luck ;p). I liked the windows separating the bar from the restaurant. Keeps some of the noise out for those not there for the big screens. The food was pretty good. I had the Jim Beam Peppercorn burger. Watch out, there's minced jalapenos on that baby... it's definitely white girl spicy! The service was on par with what I would expect, not over-the-moon fantastic, but friendly and certainly nothing wrong with it. I'd say the shuttle is a definite perk. It's part of the 4 star rating on this one. And the fact that they carry my favourite beer ever. Yep, you can get yourself a pint of Wraspberry from the Wild Rose Brewery in Calgary here. Woohoo! read more

I've held off a bit on doing my Fargos review until I've been able to visit a couple more times. So, here it is in all its glory. Fargos is great if you're after a cheeky wee pint and a bite to eat. Menu is your standard pub type affair, wings, fish and chips, pastas, burgers etc. I'm a fan of the Fargos own burger - so tasty! Soup and a salad is a good shout as well if you're after something a little lighter. It's great for kids, my daughter has a grand time whenever we visit. They have live music the weekends too. read more

Very sparse servings and poor quality for the price. We won't return. 4 small mushrooms for $16 and they weren't even very good quality.

For a local pub it is honestly pretty good! Tuesday's are the best, when you can get 2 for 1 steaks!! An amazing steal of a deal - and with the steak you get sides like fries or a baked potato! Basically 2 people can eat for $35 or less - and it decent steak too! They do have their issues and have has some questionable servers over the years, but all in all, not a bad place to eat. And again supporting local, compared to chain restaurants! read more

We recently celebrated my birthday here. We are a large group of seniors and many of us had never been here.Sampling different restaurants is one of our favourite activities. We made ourselves at home and the wait staff was very accommodating. They turned down the music for us because it was distracting our conversation. There were 14 of us and everyone was very pleased with their selection. Some of the dishes we ordered were the wonton soup, Club sandwich, Denver sandwich, taco salad, and vegetarian burger. Everyone was raving about the delicious fries. We brought our own birthday cake from Costco and the waitress brought it out for us after our meal , complete with candles lit. It was lovely. The only downside was the lack of adequate parking but we managed. Give this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

I go here because it's convenient. I love the buffalo chicken and perogies. The wings are good too. The service has got better since I first started coming, and I love when they have live music. But the quality of food has been really inconsistent. I had some terrible, dry, sat under the heat lamp so long I couldn't touch the plate it was so hot, pasta tonight. So. 3 stars. I've weighed the pros and cons, and Fargos comes out super average. But that won't stop me from continuing to go there. read more

I never knew this place existed until some friends suggested to meet there tonight. We went in on a Sunday at 5pm to a completely empty restaurant. When I say completely empty, I mean nobody including staff was in there. We stood in the lobby for a good 5 minutes before a waitress came inside from smoking with 2 lounge patrons and sat us (she was very polite and seemed a little embarrassed about the smoke thing). Based on the menu, (which doesn't have pizza on it, so not sure why Yelp describes it as a pizza establishment), I definitely expected a Smitty's-style meal (the service and overall atmosphere was pretty on-par with a smittys experience), but was pleasantly surprised to get a nicely presented, and frankly delicious meal. I had the chipotle wrap, hubby had the fish and chips - both quite good and the kids were satisfied with their meals too. The friends we went with are long-time customers and said the brunch is worth checking out as well. read more

This was our first visit, Sunday for supper. It was very quiet and those I was with thought we should go somewhere else. I said I thought we should stay, so we stayed. Three of us ordered burgers and mom had the chicken pot pie. Well they were all pleasantly surprised. I had the Signature burger and it had to be the best one I've had for years! Had it with salad, even that was great. Mom like the chicken pot pie, the others had burgers with mushrooms and fries. They were happy as well. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. My salad was excellent. Not like some side salads for sure. This has not the biggest menu but I would definitely go back for another burger. I can recommend going, don't think you'll be disappointed. Staff were friendly and courteous. read more

I missed the festival of tree's this year and was extremely disappointed so a friend took me for a beer at Fargos in attempt to cheer me up and im happy to say that it worked wonders! The atmosphere is very much like Cheers where everybody knows your name. I am not from the neighborhood but the waitress still treated us (and everybody for that matter) like we were her best customers. She was extremely friendly and came around on two or three occasions to make sure our drinks were full and the nachos we ordered were tasting good. The nachos were half priced tonight and were a great value considering there is enough on the plate to feed a small family! They did a great job ensuring even topping placement and the salsa and guacamole tasted really fresh. They also use fresh cut jalapeno which I recommend getting on the side as fresh is always much more spicy then the ones out of the jar. Fargos has a cozy neighborhood pub vibe,friendly waitresses,good food,and they even had Stella on tap which is huge for me. If im ever out this way again I will definitely be making a stop off. read more

The focus of this place is clearly the bar with its various TVs set to sports channels. But it is totally closed offed from the rest of the place, so there is no noise in dining area. We went for a quick lunch one day and it was pretty good. I had the Reuben and it was good -- nice sauerkraut, good grill marks. Cole slaw was nothing remarkable. My son said the burger was good and he asks to go back whenever we drive by. I will say the wait staff was very friendly and three people asked if we happy with our meal, which is three more than one often gets. read more

Awesome food but pricing is outrageous! Ordered BMC bugers with extra mushrooms and poutine! When bill arrived extra charges were $3.00 for poutine and $3.99 for about 2 1/2 mushrooms! I mentioned to server that I was charged $4 for a couple extra mushrooms on each of our burgers I was she said was yeah they did charge you that ! She rang it in, she would know! I won't be back thank you! read more

Our waitress was horrible! She kept forgetting our order and us! The place wasn't even busy!!! I won't go into a lot of rant on the waitress. She was just not smart, had no common sense, and really should never be in the service industry as she wasn't skilled. I am not even sure if she truly deserved the .5 cent tip I gave her. Trust me I used to be a cocktail waitress and bartender when I started in the work force back in the day. For me your tip is EARNED, not EXCEPTED! It was 2 for 1 steak night and after the third return of my food to get my steak cooked medium rare, I was not a happy camper! The steak was actually good by the third try, however by than I wasn't hungry. They also didn't get my potatoes right, no it wasn't mashed, no it wasn't fries, it was baked! At the end of it we were all really disappointed with the service and quality of food. The only nice thing about it was the management did give us 50% off the steak which was already 2 for 1, so for two mediocre meals it was $11.00. read more

Love that the bartender remembered what I drink, haven't been here for awhile. Two for on steak on Tuesday. My steak was cold but fixed quickly, found the Jim beam sauce a bit much next time I will order it with sauce cooked on. Potatoes fully loaded as usual great read more

Fargos - At the bar - Canadian (New) Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

So we order food and drinks on St. Patrick's day, then the waitress comes around telling us we need to pay 10$ if we want to stay and watch the band. I've never seen something like that before, the entertainment can't be on the house? Considering ppl are buying drinks and food? Greedy. I order the fish & chips because it's on special half off.. or so I think. They literally cut the meal in half and the price and call it a special. No that is not a special, also never seen anything like that before in a restaurant. Also their 4$ craft beer specials were canceled because it was st pattys day. Greeeeed. This place is not devoted to selling good food and service. They are in the business of giving you less for more $$. Absolutely greedy establishment. Don't spend your money here. read more

I have always been on the fence about Fargos, it is one of those places that I could take or leave, in the past I have had some pretty sketchy meals here not to mention some bad service. However, this Friday myself and some coworkers decided to head there for lunch. Although the service was pretty lax, especially considering the lack of patrons - the food was great. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and I can safely say I will have no problem coming back in the future. read more

I visit Fargos almost every month for a get together and always on a Tuesday for 2for1 steak dinners. At $15 for steak dinner and a drink including tax and tip, it's great. Nothing spectacular here, but worth it for the deal. The steak dinner comes with a baked potato (or other typical starchy side), deep fried battered onions, and a stale piece of garlic bread. We descend on the restaurant all at once (about 20 of us) so getting our meals always takes a while, but they all generally come out at about the same time. read more

The food here is high quality and a reasonable price. I generally order the Fish and Chips and the portion is generous. However, the last time I went I was disappointed by the fact that fries were luke warm and soggy. The service here is questionable at best. I suspect a high turnover rate in staffing, because I have never had the same server twice. Don't ask any questions because the staff won't be able to answer them as they are always new. They are nice enough but in general appear undertrained and inexperienced. read more

Another good dinner had on a Tuesday night. The 2 for 1 steak dinner special is really good. Appetizers are a tad expensive side for what you get. On the flip side you could say appetizers are too small for what you pay. Service was a bit slow tonight. There was only 2 servers working and restaurant side was closed so you had to eat in the lounge. The lounge was filled with numerous team tables. read more

Every time I have been here the food has been excellent. I typically go on their steak nights. They have a number of different styles of steaks, and all of them are tasty. I particularly like the blackened. There wings are also awesome, the cajun ones are great. Its a great place to go watch a game and get a few orders of wings and a salad with some friends. read more

I have been coming here for years...Service is great, fast and friendly. I faithfully always have the buffalo chicken tenders with fries with ranch dip! Best in the city by a mile... Have never had better- the way the hot sauce just seeps through the batter and into the chicken is fantastic! It's baked right in... Yum! Not to mention the freshly made ranch sauce It's to die for! Thumbs up to Fargos! Prices are good too! Oh and who can resist .45 cent shrimp in 14 different flavors on Thursdays. Oh an 2 for 1 steaks on Tuesday's ! read more

I went here for brunch this past Sunday and was so pleasantly surprised. The good was amazing all fresh ingredients and the price was comparable to a Smitties, but way better food. I had the Primaveria Omelet and it was sooo yummy..fresh spinach, broccoli, and peppers. Was really tasty. Definitely going back! read more

We've been coming here for a couple of years now and while I agree with other reviewers that the service has been inconsistent in the past year or so the food is usually very good. They have a few amazing meal salads on the menu - smoked salmon, apple avocado and blackened chicken are standouts. Also, their steaks are better than Sawmills and their burgers are juicy. I also think their veggie burger with bruschetta and avocado is to die for. read more

What a joke of a place. Beware of their fine print people. The specials are after 5 and they won't even try to warn you that you are not ordering the specials in the designated time. Friday at 430 I ordered fish and chips which I thought were 8 dollars. When the bill comes it's 17. Their manager matt tells me that it's not really his problem. So for 17 bucks I get deep fried store brand fish and chips. I could describe the blandness and really lacklustre presentation to the, but we all know what to expect with fish and chips. So I'm sure any reasonable person could see why it's so frustrating to shell out that much on something like that. To be fair the waitress was new and wasn't up on the specials but you would think the manager would step up to fix the issue. Not Matt. That fine print sure saved him. read more

I work close by and a few of us try to sneak over for lunch when we can. They are always really prompt with service, and the food is good.

We have been here lots and had good food but today it changed we had the 2 for 1 steak special and it was just good. My steak was not medium rare like I ordered. Over cooked baked potato was cold and my crispy onions were not. Staff was great about and fixed it up. read more

Mediocre food. Ok service. The waitress was stuck up and took forever to bring the bill then there were only two tables of people! The salad was just lettuce it was kind of sad. read more

This place is perfect if you want to just go hang out with a few friends and grab a drink. The food and service are top notch!! LOVE IT!!!!

I have only experience on the bar side but this review is really only about the food. Anyway, the food is always really friggin good. . Like the excellent hamburgers that are from fresh made patties. All the menu items I have tried are well above average for a bar to the point where there is sawmill across the street and the steak at Fargos is a good if not better than the sawmill at half the price. Also, if you are a vegetarian there is a decent selection including the Best veggie burger I have ever had. If i lived in the Capilano area I would eat here very often. read more
